    Front Flower Garden

    So far so good with the Darla and the team. She came out to give me a quote. Was fair. Gave them the go-ahead, but ran out of time in the year (oct). So she booked me first thing in the spring. Really liked her approach, recommendation to transform my plain front yard to something we can be proud of. I will come back on here and update.

    Answer from pro:

    Hi Jimmy, We look forward to getting your front garden designed, Finished digging and planted as soon as Mother Nature allows us too. Thanks so much for taking the time to review us. We can't wait to give you a great garden for years to come.

    Weekly Garden Maintenance

    We have had Darla and her crew of girls help us in the garden for the last two years. I have always really enjoyed working in the garden but life has become busy and it was not enjoyable anymore. Darla has changed my life! She comes with the other girls once a week and they keep the garden in beautiful shape - better than I ever did. Darla and The Garden Girls are a pleasure to work with and they really seem to enjoy working together. Darla is highly organized and reliable and extremely creative in the garden. Thankyou Darla for letting me enjoy our garden without having to work in it myself anymore. You have a great team. Karen

    Answer from pro:

    Thank you Karen for writing such a kind heartfelt review. I am always happy when our customers get to enjoy their families while we work in their gardens. You have such a wonderful property to work on every week. Who would have thought that one yards trees can shed so much crap! We can't wait to return next year! Darla

    Regular Garden Maintenance

    I would like to thank you so much for helping me with my gardens. I will always be grateful for the day I complained to my friend, Sharon about all the work I needed to do in my garden. She promptly told me about The Garden Girls and gave me your contact information. I was very thankful that you agreed to see me and discuss my gardening needs. I always enjoyed working in the front and back yards but I had no idea how much work was required with gardening. I was beginning to resent all the flowers, shrubs and grasses in the gardens because the work never seemed to end so I could sit back and enjoy them. The Garden Girls have given me back the love and enjoyment of my beautiful gardens. You have allowed me time to sit with my glass of wine and view the magnificent wonders of nature. As they say about the credit card, the time you have given me is "priceless". I have received so many compliments on my gardens and do not hesitate to give The Garden Girls the credit they deserve. You helped me to start up my gardens in the spring. You helped me to maintain my gardens during the summer. You helped me to put my gardens to rest in the fall preparing for the winter season. Your knowledge and professionalism with landscaping is greatly appreciated. All the work you did was always done with picturesque results and no mess or fuss for me to worry about. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I hope you will continue to work with me and I look forward to seeing you again in the spring of 2015. Regards, Susan Holmstrom

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks Susan for the best review I think I have ever received. Very thoughtful and I am so glad our help has given you time in your busy retirement to enjoy the view. We look forward to next year and watching your garden grow.

    Garden Rejuvination

    Health issue had ended my ability to care and maintain a very large garden. Garden Girls worked wonders clearing out,weeding and pruning to create the garden that I was once again proud of. They have given me back the joy of the garden and the ability to dream and plan over the winter for the next season.

    Dissatisfied with Previous Gardener

    We were starting to have some concerns about our previous gardener that we had been using for several years, so I went on Homestars.com to search for other potential gardeners. The Garden Girls came up as a top rated provider, so we gave them a call. The Garden Girls has been extremely professional and responsive since our first contact and we have since hired them. The work that they completed in their first two visits was more than our previous gardener did all season. They are extremely knowledgeable about all of our various trees, shrubs and other plants, and are hardworking and efficient. Based on our experience so far I would recommend the The Garden Girls to anyone.

    Answer from pro:

    We are so glad you used Homestars.com and found us Jeremy and contacted us. Although your gardens weren't in horrible shape some shrubs and weeds that should have been addressed throughout the year have not been. Thanks Jeremy for taking the time to write us a review. I know we have only met this fall and you have such a lovely property. We look forward to keeping it looking really nice next season.

    Oak Park Makeover

    Darla and her team have been amazing to work with over the past 2 years. Last year my plans were modest, but this summer, we decided to tackle my front yard. I had some very particular design ideas of what I wanted, and the budget I wanted to work within. I could not have done it without Darla. Not only did she advise me wisely on the correct plants to use to get the look, but she also went the extra mile to locate the standard rose bushes I so badly wanted. She got just as excited as I did about the way it was all turning out. Needless to say, I was absolutely thrilled with the end result, and get lots of compliments. She installed everything with great care and precision. Her window boxes are also well crafted and very artistic. I look at them every day with delight as I come in the back door. I love knowing Darla and her team are taking care of my garden. Our next project is “tulips” and I can’t wait for her to plant my bulbs, let alone the mass of flowers I hope to see in the spring! Alison

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks so much Alison for your great review. Your little front space is seen by so many and your design was perfect. We just tweaked it a bit so you did not have the wrong choices for the north facing issues you have with little to no light. We look forward to planting the bulbs and hopefully the squirrels do not follow us to treasure. It is going to look fantastic coming up in the spring!

    Novice Gardeners

    My husband and I purchased a new home this summer. We are novices at gardening and wanted to hire the best team to help us! I found The Garden Girls on Homestars. They did an amazing job! They cleaned up our overgrown front and back yards. Everything looked lush and lovely when they were done. I would highly recommend The Garden Girls and I am really looking forward to working with them again in the spring. Thank you Darla and The Garden Girls!! Elizabeth from Etobicoke

    Answer from pro:

    We thank you Elizabeth for writing us a great review. We often are called in to help new home owners get the gardens they have inherited cleaned up, and made even better. All while teaching you what you have good and bad and how to keep it in control. Lord knows that gout weed needs control! We look forward to returning next year.

    Complete Garden Overhaul and Continued Maintenance

    The Garden Girls did a complete garden overhaul for us this summer removing a ton of old dead shrubs and plants and replacing them with all new soil and a completely redesigned garden! It was a large job with multiple beds and they completed everything in a reasonable timeframe. Darla is very attentive, coordinating all aspects so the garden looks its best at all times. She has a great response time to emails and makes time to come by if there are ANY issues. We had a little trouble with the amount the plants were being watered after they had been planted, and she came over multiple times to make sure the irrigation was set properly to water all the new plants the correct amount. We get compliments all the time on our new garden. Thanks ladies!

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks Emily for taking the time to write a great review for us. We really enjoyed bringing some colour, formality and green back to the front gardens. It has been a pleasure to work on the grounds and we look forward to continuing to work together in the future. We will love coming back as long as you will have us!

    Vacation Maintenance

    Further to a review we provided a few years ago after experiencing the wonderful services of The Garden Girls for the first time, (and which we have used every year since), we are happy to update our glowing recommendation. This summer we availed ourselves of an additional service they provided. For a nominal fee, they checked our house every week while we were away for a few months. On our return we found everything in apple pie order: our indoor plant thriving, our plumbing fixtures clean, having been activated during the summer, and our sprinkler system having been turned off to prevent over-watering due to rain. As always, our lawn and flower beds were in great shape - even some new plants added to fill in a couple of bare spots. We certainly couldn't have done as well ourselves. We continue to rave about The Garden Girls! John & Sue, Oakville ON

    Garden maintenance

    This is the first year we have used The Garden Girls and we are thrilled with their work. We have a large property and I was worried they wouldn't be able to keep up. They surpassed our expectations. We hope to use them for many years to come

    Answer from pro:

    Thanks Heather for the awesome review. We sooooo love coming to work in your gardens. I think there is internal competition for who gets to attend. I know it can be very stressful when transferring the reigns from one gardener to another. There is so much love and attention put into growing a garden that we do not want to see it diminish. I am happy to see we have surpassed the expectations.
